Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 20, 2017 / Proposed Rules Authority: 26 U.S.C. 7805 * * * Par. 8. Section 301.6109–4 is amended by revising paragraphs (b)(2)(ii) and (iii), (b)(3), and (c) to read as follows: ■ § 301.6109–4 IRS truncated taxpayer identification numbers. * * * * (b) * * * (2) * * * (ii) A TTIN may not be used on a statement or document if a statute, regulation, other guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin, form, or instructions, specifically requires use of a SSN, ITIN, ATIN, or EIN and does not specifically state that the taxpayer identifying number may be truncated. For example, a TTIN may not be used on a Form W–8ECI or Form W–8IMY because the forms and/or form instructions specifically prescribe use of an SSN, EIN, or ITIN for the U.S. taxpayer identification number. (iii) A TTIN may not be used on any return, statement, or other document that is required to be filed with or furnished to the Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration in the case of forms required to be filed with the Social Security Administration under the internal revenue laws. * * * * * (3) Examples. The provisions of this paragraph (b) are illustrated by the following examples: sradovich on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with PROPOSALS * (i) Example 1. Pursuant to section 6051(d) and § 31.6051–2(a) of this chapter, Employer files the Social Security Administration copy of Employee’s Form W–2, Wage and Tax Statement, with the Social Security Administration. Employer may not truncate any identifying number on the Social Security Administration copy. Pursuant to section 6051(a) and § 31.6051–1(a)(1)(i) of this chapter, Employer furnishes copies of Form W–2 to Employee. There are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms, or instructions that prohibit use of a TTIN on Form W–2, and § 31.6051–1(a)(1)(i) specifically permits truncating employees’ SSNs. Accordingly, Employer may truncate Employee’s SSN to appear in the form of a TTIN on copies of Form W–2 furnished to Employee. Employer may not truncate its own EIN on copies of Form W–2 furnished to Employee. (ii) Example 2. On April 5, year 1, Donor contributes a used car with a blue book value of $1100 to Charitable Organization. On April 20, year 1, Charitable Organization sends Donor copies B and C of the Form 1098–C as a contemporaneous written acknowledgement of the $1100 contribution as required by section 170(f)(12). In lateFebruary, year 2, Charitable Organization prepares and files copy A of Form 1098–C with the IRS, reporting Donor’s donation of a qualified vehicle in year 1. Charitable VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:23 Sep 19, 2017 Jkt 241001 Organization may truncate Donor’s SSN to appear in the form of a TTIN in the Donor’s Identification Number box on copies B and C of the Form 1098–C because copies B and C of the Form 1098–C are documents required by the Internal Revenue Code and regulations to be furnished to another person; there are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms or instructions that prohibit the use of a TTIN on those copies; and there are no applicable statutes, regulations, other published guidance, forms, or instructions that specifically require use of an SSN or other identifying number on those copies. Charitable Organization may not truncate its own EIN on copies B and C of the Form 1098–C because a person cannot truncate its own taxpayer identifying number on any statement or other document the person furnishes to another person. Charitable Organization may not truncate any identifying number on copy A of the Form 1098–C because copy A is required to be filed with the IRS. (c) Applicability date. This section is applicable to returns, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished after December 31, 2018. Kirsten Wielobob, Deputy Commissioner for Services and Enforcement.

Infrastructure SIP Requirements for the 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, and 
an amended SIP submission from the State of Iowa for the 2010 Nitrogen 
Dioxide (NO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). 
Infrastructure SIPs address the applicable requirements of Clean Air 
Act (CAA) section 110, which requires that each state adopt and submit 
a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each new 
or revised NAAQS promulgated by the EPA. These SIPs are commonly 
referred to as ``infrastructure'' SIPs. The infrastructure requirements 
are designed to ensure that the structural components of each state's 
air quality management program are adequate to meet the state's 
responsibilities under the CAA.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
we are approving the state's SIP revisions as a direct final rule 
without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we 
will not take further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 20, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2017-0208, to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take direct final 
action on Iowa's infrastructure SIP submissions for the 2010
